This morning I woke at 3am to the sound of an imaginary alarm clock going off. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my phone from the dresser, and yelled to Blake "Oh no I'm really late!!!!!" Blake gently reminded me that it was 3am, I was out of my mind, and to get back in bed. I wasn't supposed to be up until 4:15, and just like on Christmas Eve, I woke up every hour after dreaming I was late. I normally don't wake up at the butt crack of dawn, however this morning was special because I had my very first clinical for Nursing. It was at Orem Rehab and Nursing, which was fun because it is part long-term care, part rehabilitation center. I arrived at the facility at 5:30am, a half an hour early, because I knew I needed to mentally prepare myself for the day ahead of me. Much to my amazement (and after my dang nerves finally subsided), I am now sitting at work after a busy morning, and although I feel like I got hit by a school bus from waking up so dang early, I am quite pleased with how the morning went. There were lots of new sights, and a bunch of new smells, but more importantly I found out that this new career I'm pursuing is going to be pretty dang fulfilling. I really can't wait for what's to come =)
I wasn't going to mention this, but I did receive a new nickname today from one of my patients.... "Queen Sweet Angel." I think it definitely fits, am I rrrright? ahaha. I shall only answer to this name from here on out.
